What famous essays are there in high school Chinese textbooks?

First, "Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion"-Wang Bo

Wang Tengting is one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, located on the east bank of Ganjiang River in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It was built in the 4th year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting resounded throughout the room. Preface to Wang Teng-ting is a parallel poem preface with fresh style and great momentum, which can be called a model work. "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters grow together, and the sky is the same color" is regarded as a beautiful sentence to write about scenery, which outlines a peaceful and far-reaching picture.

Second, "Happy Travel"-Zhuangzi

Happy Travel is the first article in Zhuangzi, and its theme is the pursuit of absolute freedom. The whole article fully shows Zhuangzi's rich imagination and superb language control ability. "Wandering freely" is Zhuangzi's life ideal, and he pursues the spiritual realm of transcendence, independence and absolute freedom. There are many allusions and uncommon words in the text, which is quite challenging to recite.

Third, the "model"-Zhuge Liang

Fourth place, Shi Shuo-Han Yu

On Teachers is an article that expounds the importance of teachers, the necessity of learning from teachers and the principles of choosing teachers.
